What steps will reproduce the bug?
const fs = require('fs');
const watcher = fs.watch('.', {
recursive: false // The test passes if this option is set to `true`.
});
watcher.on('change', function (event, filename) {
console.log(event, filename);
if (filename === 'file.txt') {
watcher.close();
}
});
setTimeout(function () {
fs.writeFileSync('file.txt', 'data');
}, 100);How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?
Always.
What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?
change file.txt is written to the standard output and the process exits. This is what happens when the recursive option is set to true.
What do you see instead?
change null is written to the standard output and the process does not exit.
